Airpods not working with Itunes for Windows

Hi,

I connected the Airpods to my computer and they are working great. I'm able to ear everything from every programs, except iTunes for Windows. iTunes continue to send music to the computer speaker. And it don't appear to have an option to choose the bluetooth as the output. Strange. Anyone know how to use Airpods with iTunes for Windows 10?

Thanks

Strange. Without any change from me, I tested again the AirPod today and they are now working. I'm not sure why. The only thing I did differently, I enabled the Bluetooth on the computer after the iTunes was started.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I already checked before posting for the latest version. I also did a repair to be sure there is no installation issue. On my Macbook, I'm able to select the AirPods from iTunes. The issue came only on my business computer, a Windows 10 with iTunes for Windows . ITunes only output music to the build-in audio card. Other output like Airpods on USB Bluetooth aren't a visible selection in iTunes. I even setup the Airpods as default for the computer. Like I wrote, I have sound for everything else... the problem is only with iTunes for Windows.
